Mondo To Release 'Shaun Of The Dead' Score For First Time Ever At MondoCon; Plus 'Looper' And '2001'

The films of Edgar Wright are known for their eclectic musical choices, but it's the pop song choices that are typically revered. The scores are highly underrated, to the extent the score for Wright's first film, Shaun of the Dead, has never been available anywhere in any format.

That changes this weekend at MondoCon in Austin, TX. Mondo will release the Shaun of the Dead score by Daniel Mudford & Pete Woodhead on vinyl as part of a carnival style, record-tossing booth. There are two editions, too, both with cover art by Jock.

But that's not all. Previously announced, Mondo will release LPs of Nathan Johnson's score to Rian Johnson's Looper and Alex North's abandoned score for 2001: A Space Odyssey. Both have art by Jay Shaw.

Below, check out looks of all the LPs and read more information about them.

All of these will first go on sale September 20 and 21 at MondoCon in the Marchesa Hall & Theater in Austin Texas before an online drop.

First up, here are the A and B versions of Shaun of the Dead, followed by the press release including quotes and even some audio samples. It'll go online October 7.

"We wanted to 'play a straight bat,' as the English say, and treat the film as though it was a sincere and genuinely terrifying scenario." says Mudford. In doing so, they crafted a score that fits in perfectly alongside the great horror scores that inspired it.Dan and Pete's band 'The Sons Of Silence,' was previously featured in Edgar Wright's television show Spaced and became part of the behind-the-scenes soundtrack during the writing and casting portions of the film. "Indeed, many of the doomier, dubbier tracks of from 'The Sons of Silence' would blend in perfectly with my playlist, made up of John Carpenter scores, Goblin rock outs and library tracks from Dawn of The Dead. So even before Dan and Pete were definitely scoring the movie, they were already scoring the movie," says Wright. Listen to preview tracks on Sound Cloud:Combat StudsThe Shower & The Coming ApocalypseBurn Down The SunThe record will be available for sale at MondoCon with a Carnival style record-throwing booth where attendees can test their post-apocalyptic zombie defense skills and earn the rarest version of the record.
